A 60-year-old man has died following a crash on Interstate 65 – just south of Southport Road – on Indy's south side Thursday morning. According to the Indianapolis Fire Department and Indiana State Police, around 10:39 a.m. Dec. 19, officers and firefighters responded to the southbound lanes of I-65, near the 101.8 mile marker, on a report of a semi that was on fire after a crash. IFD says the truck was carrying a load of wooden pellets and firefighters began working to extinguish the fire at 10:45 a.m. The driver of the semi was pronounced dead at 10:51 a.m. IFD says it is unclear whether or not he may have suffered a medical emergency prior to the crash. A preliminary investigation showed the semi left the road, crashed into several interstate signs, then caught fire after striking a guardrail.
